This is a long shot, but have you thought of contacting the two leads, Mary Logan and John Stanley? Both are still active and could at least tell you the real name of the director. I wonder if it's a coincidence that Stanley also directed another film--NIGHTMARE IN BLOOD/HORROR CONVENTION--in the same year as BARKING DOG, 1978.

It was supposed to have been released by Continental Video, but I've never seen a copy--even online/eBay/half.com--and no one seems to know who the real director was. I have other tapes from Continental in my collection (I have over 500 prerecorded VHS tapes, of which around 70-80 are available on DVD, though some of those are such poor quality on DVD there's no point in buying them).
